  by Indian Larry in

  the paragraph says:.

  who, then, is the faithful and discreet slave?

  that slave is made up of a small group of anointed brothers who are directly involved in preparing and dispensing.

  Preaching work

  by Kool Jo in

  hello folks:.

  i was just thinking...what do you think the borg would look like if they said it's no longer necessary to do the preaching work...it's voluntary?

  1. some would go tru the motions just to appear 'spiritually strong'.

  You are no longer a volunteer when you dedicate your whole life to God visible organization...

  if you could pick anyone from jwn to meet in real life to meet and have dinner with, who would that be?

  let's exclude all those who you are already friends with, who you know and love from jwn in real life.

  so or me, that excludes my friend ann and also curious butterfly.

  Joe and Barbara Anderson and Awaken at Gilead. They were instrumental to my awakening. OTWO because I see many things the way he does. You la vérité...so we could speak French. Found Sheep for obvious reasons ;-)

  Mic issues

  by msconcerned in

  so on friday all day, the mic guy did a bang up job.....until david splane got to the podium.

  it looked like he discussed how the mic should be set up for him, then finally when the mic guy was walking away david says " well im glad we got that settled".

  then today same thing, he got the mic guy to readjust the mic for him again.

  I was trained for sound for the circuit and district assemblies by brothers from Bethel and they demonstrated that we could maintain the appropriate volume level even when the mic is held at chest height with a simple adjustment at the mixer...making a precise mic adjustment at the sound console irrelevant. I guess GB members don't know this and mic adjustment is like a rehearsed ritual that needs to be performed perfectly. Who would dare telling a GB he knows shit about how mics work? Some speakers like to move in on the mic to raise the volume to emphasize a point, others just like to speak loud...so I would just adjust the level down and within normal range.

  Pronouncing things differently so they don't sound rude. Typical CULT persona. Political correctness?

  by punkofnice in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i noticed over the years how bros & sis(tm) would pronounce words/names differently or totally substitute them so as not to sound offensive.. egs:.

  instead of 'bible aids' a bro(tm) said 'bible helps' thus avoiding aids disease!?!.

  instead of sodom the bro(tm) pronounced it 'sow dom'.

  About a decade ago there was a revised version of the NWT in French where names of prophets, including the bible book they wrote, and kings were changed to be closer to their original pronunciation. Of course the name of the most known were not changed...still for a while it was very confusing. I just couldn't figure out why the WTS is so concerned about the accuracy of the names of prophets when it accept that Jehovah may not be the accurate rendition of god's name. This led to debates on the meticulously precise pronunciation of names. Some brothers would mispronounce a name and the whole congregation would mimic the same mistake. Today I realize this was a diversion to occupy the brothers mind on meaningless things. BTW should I say DAW RY US or Dari us....

  Satanus, If you are aluding to the Calgary DC, I just had a "friend" say that Jehovah's hand made it possible for the Edmonton Rexall arena to be available July 5-7......takes an idiot not to know that hockey arenas may be available during the off season!

  I was also amazed when someone posted the 70's Awake that bared the title of this year's special talk: Is it later than you think. I guess the WT needs to recycle their old material for the new converts...

  Any Good Governing Body Voice Imatators That Can Do Funny Remakes Of Talks?

  by frankiespeakin in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  am3 sound awful and kinda nerdy and kinda gay, on his talk about higher education he nasally say "now that's rediculous, were not against education".

  stephan letts got a very funny voice too, as his mouth opens unusually wide and his facial expression with his eyes opened wide has a strange resemblence to marshall applewhite.. gerrit losch just plain old boring and basically un animated, he probably put more people asleep when he talks than any other gb member alive or dead.

  he don't like sports and is probably getting old and cranky.. david splane and his famous newlight talk about consolidation of power to the gb/f&ds "and brothers the governing body loves this idea as it truley dignifies the great crowd" should be easy to copy and build on.. freddy plaid shirt franz, has a fun voice to imatate and to has a great potential for lots of laugh as he waxes on about bible verse and delusional interpetations.. karl marble mouth klein, was hard to understand.. i'm sure some talented voice imatators could do a funny side splitting job on youtube that has the potential to be hilarious..

  Who needs imitators when you have the real thing? GB members can bring ridicule on themselves without any help...
